[141] O’Neill’s Journal; Monck’s letters ut sup.; The Present Condition of Dublin (two letters), London, June 22, 1649.
[142] Ormonde’s account is in a letter to the King, August 8, and in one to Lord Byron, September 29, Carte’s Original Letters, ii. 392, 407; and see his answer to the Jamestown prelates, October 2, 1650, in appendix 48 to Cox’s Hibernia Anglicana. Colonel John Moore to Fairfax, August 4, Egerton MSS. 2618, f. 36. Jones’s account, dated August 6, is in Cary’s Memorials of the Civil War, ii. 159; Clarendon’s account is virtually Ormonde’s, Hist. of the Rebellion, Ireland, pp. 77-79; Walsh’s Hist. of the Remonstrance, p. 609; the account given by Bellings, vii. 127, does not differ materially from Clarendon’s. The discipline of Ormonde’s heterogeneous army was probably bad. The author of the Aphorismical Discovery, ii. 102, says the Lord Lieutenant ‘kept rather a mart of wares, a tribunal of pleadings, or a great inn of play, drinking, and pleasure, than a well-ordered camp of soldiers.’ For the topography of the battle I have used Mr. Ellington Ball’s article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, vol. xxxii. For the plunder taken see Contemp. Hist. iii. 158, and a version of Jones’s account rather fuller than that given by Cary in Z. Grey’s Examination of Neal, iv. appendix 6. As to the state of the garrison see Two Great Fights in Ireland, London, 1649, and a Bloody Fight at Dublin, July 4.
[143] Ormonde to the Prince of Wales, January 22, 1648-9, in appendix to Carte’s Ormonde, No. 601; Lord Byron to Ormonde, March 30 and April 1, 1649, N.S., in Carte’s Original Letters, i. 237, and October 12, ib. 319; Charles II. to Ormonde, February 2, 1649-50, in Carte’s Ormonde, i. 108.
[144] MS. quoted in Warburton’s Life of Rupert, iii. 281; Hyde to Fanshawe, January 21, 1648-9, ib. 279; Rupert’s letter of April 12, ib. 288; Prince of Wales to Ormonde, Carte MSS. vol. lxiii. f. 570; letters of Blake and Deane, May 22, July 10, Leyborne-Popham Papers, pp. 17-21; Carte’s Ormonde, ii. 65; Relation taken at Havre, April 13, 1649, printed from the Clarendon MSS. in Contemp. Hist. ii. 204, where it is noted that Rupert had met Ormonde at Cork; Sir W. Penn’s Memorials, i. 291.
[145] Cromwell’s speech to the officers is in Clarke Papers, ii. 200, and in the appendix to the new edition of Carlyle. For the episode of the Levellers, which hardly belongs to Irish history, see Gardiner’s Commonwealth, chap. 2, and as to Broghill, ib. i. 106.
[146] It is evident from the dates collected in Gardiner’s Commonwealth, i. 115, 116, that Monck went from London to Milford and back again between August 1 and 10. Cromwell’s letter to his daughter Dorothy, August 13, ‘aboard the John’; Robert Coytmor to Popham, August 25; Blake to same, September 10; Deane to same, September 14, in Leyborne-Popham Papers, Hist. MSS. Comm.
